My version of xbmc is linked to mx player as it works better . Not sure if the official versions have been fixed to work on android properly but I want to use the subtitles addon within xbmc ? But I can't get it to work with the mx player ..
In the default xbmc player you just have to press the little square with the circle in it . But not sure if there is an automatic way with mx player / xbmc
Is there a way I can switch between players in xbmc as a work around ?

I suspect an MX Player update has broken my setup...
SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL HDHR3-US digital antenna TV tuner; firmware was 20161117, now 20170815
Google Android 6.0.1 Nexus 2013 HD tablet (ARMv7 Neon)
John Anderson's HDHomeRunTV Android app v1.72 (static for years... just works)
MX Player Android app; was 1.8.x, now 1.9.8 (ARMv7 Neon)
Has worked fine for years except when an MX Player update kicks out the custom codec for AC3 audio. Hopefully this won't be an issue going forward once I get it working with the now built-in AC3 codec.
After HDHomeRunTV app invoked MX Player 1.8.x, the player comes up STOPPED with message, 'can not load link'... presumably meaning the link to the TV tuner stream(?). The displayed link in the upper left corner of the player screen is: udp://@192.168.1.137:5454 (the @ seems odd).
Updated to MX Player 1.9.7 and .8... now player comes up with usual loading icon but then STOPPED and no message. It still cannot load the TV tuner stream.
I am able to use the tuner with SiliconDust's Windows player (video only on my 2003 Win7 system; plus their s/w crashes an ATI GPU dll) and with their Android app HDHomeRun (audio only; plus their s/w stops working; they have acknowledged a video playback defect in their app on Nexus 7 and are working on it). Point being... I feel my tuner and HDHomeRunTV app are still functioning, and that MX Player has a new playback/linking defect on this setup.
Contact me if you need more feedback.

Probably it's an issue with their app.
Can you collect a bug report from MX Player (From Help menu) immediately after reproducing the issue?
I have emailed the bug report files to the gmail addressed provided within MX Player. Is it possible to upload files to the forum?
SiliconDust did update their app and it now plays the tuner stream, but the video quality is not nearly as good as with MX Player when its working. At least I know my hardware is working.

Using Windows 7 and NOX Player Android Emulator (works fine). Installed MX Player as default player for Cyberflix TV but when I attempt to play a video it just displays the message:
MX Player
Unsupported Device X
It then returns to the Subtitles page and fails to play the video. I am not tech savvy enough to know what all information you might need to help me with this question. I have set this up on a Samsung Galaxy Android Tablet and it works perfectly. I am guessing it is something about the emulator but I have no idea what. Thanks for any help you can give me.
I have the same problem but the best option is to download cyberflix tv from any website and run it without mx player
Hi there,
when I choose or set my MX Player as a default player in TV Zion or any other similar app on my Android phone with the latest OS update - it works just fine and I can watch the video on my phone, works perfect.
However, when I try to cast the video that I am watching on my TV through Chromecast and press Chromecast icon on my video screen and choose "Chromecast", I get on my TV just a picture with text: MX Player - Choose the video...
What do I need to do to get the video which is already running on my phone to be shown on the TV?
Thanks for your help.
Well, this is a problem for MX player already solved in other major competitors like kodi, nplayer and NOVA. It's a pitty that MX player developers doesn't fix this for android tv, it's just a matter of allowing subtitles to go below "0". It's a purely coding problem easily solved in hours. I hope plex doesn't solve it before you guys because then there will be no way people will use MX Player anyway. By now is still better than kodi (wastes less resources), better than NOVA (better PQ and sound) and better than nplayer (it's not forgotten), but plex android tv player uses exoplayer and it gives better PQ than Mx Player any day of the week, the problem with plex is the subtitle department that doesn't give a f#ck about users outside USA.
I sincerely hope MX Player listen to this and be the first android tv video player to give 100% full support for subtitles. And make no mistake, it's still the best in changing font and colors and outlines, but i don't understand how it forgot to let users put the subtitles in the bottom of screen (this problem only happens in android tv). I know in android pie smartphone you cna do it with touch or with a mouse and scroll subtitles down while playing a video but that doesn't work on android tv even with a mouse.
The problem is android tv is different than android pie (in smartphone) the botton of screen in a smartphone is higher than in a normal 16:9 TV, so when you apply the bottom in MX Player to a TV it doesn't go bellow the bottom of a smartphone.
I upgraded my GTV streaming device to Android 10 and now my MX player will not work. Does anyone know what I should do to get it to work with Android 10 and GTV? Thank you.
